VFA opens in Porto and welcomes Carlos Vasconcelos

Valério, Figueiredo & Associados has just reinforced its presence in Northern Portugal by opening a new office in Porto.

The VFA office in the “Invicta city” will be led by lawyer Carlos Vasconcelos, who is now joining the firm’s partnership. The new office will operate as a full-service firm, with a special focus on health law, encompassing public health, medical law, and healthcare provision.

Carlos Vasconcelos, VFA’s newest partner, brings over 20 years of professional experience in litigation and advisory services to businesses and individuals. His strong involvement in professional associations is also noteworthy, having served as Secretary Board Member of the Porto District Council of the Portuguese Bar Association.

For the firm’s Managing Partner, Paulo Valério, this development represents “the culmination of many years of mutual respect and trust, allowing the natural integration of a highly skilled lawyer like Carlos Vasconcelos. Under his leadership, this marks a significant step forward in VFA’s geographic coverage and the range of services offered to its clients.”

For Carlos Vasconcelos, joining VFA is “an honour and an added responsibility. It represents an exciting project and a demanding challenge, which must always be grounded in a solid relationship of trust with VFA’s clients.”

In addition to its focus on health law, VFA Porto will provide advisory services across a wide range of areas, leveraging the integrated work of the firm’s departments and a network of offices that, alongside Lisbon and Coimbra, now covers the entire country.
